Back from our cruise

       Hi, just a short note to let you all know we are back at the Thousand trails RV Resort in Orlando/Clermont. We had a super Cruise. It was great to spend a weeks vacation with our son Cyril and his wife Dawn. It came to an end to quick. We all had a great time, and need another week to rest. The ship "Oasis of the Seas" was magnificent. It is the largest cruise ship in the world. It is hard to believe your are on a ship with all the space and all the different neighborhoods. We will add photo's and more information in the future. We just want to let you all know we are back safe and sound, as well as our son and his wife.
Blazer made out fine on his vacation. It is the first time he was ever boarded, and he did well. He is still doing "ok".
A video of one of our shore tours. The ATV in front of us is our son and daughter-in-law. We will add more photo's in the near future. We have many many photo's to sort thur. Also some fun facts about the ship. The one fact I found interesting is fuel  consumption,  "31 feet per gallon".

Three Flags RV PK,

 Date; 10/6-10/10/2011
Location; 1755 E State Road 44, Wildwood FL 34785  Three flags is a Mid Atlantic park, part of Thousand Trails.
Coast; $0.00 as members of TT. I believe for non members it was $35.  a night.
Site; We had a level grass pull Thur 50 amp full hook up. Only problem with the hook up was the sewer connection was about 12 inches high. We had a small, 8x10 cement patio. Some sites had larger patios, but most didn't have patio's. There is no privacy between sites. Site were a good size, normal commerical, size. We were in the front of the park, with very little shade. In the back of the park there are some nice back ins that are bigger and have some shade. The roads are all paved.
Laundry; There is a nice laundry with 6 washers and dryers. $2. a load each.
Phone,Wifi,TV. Verizon cell phone worked well. Wifi is Thur Tengo-$4.95 day with weekly and monthly rate-$20 and $40. The first 4 hours are free. The signal was good. TV over the air, we only got 3 channels, NBC and two odd channels. No cable.
Dog Friendly; Yes a good size fenced in dog run in the back of the park. Lot of walking area.
Night; Lighting was good. Some light road noise. Distance train noise.
Book Exchange; Small book exchange
Amenities; A small pool. A very nice clubhouse. No planned activities at this time, only about 15 RV's in the park. A mini golf.
Summary; We would stay here again. Park seemed to be very well maintained, mowed grass, no leaves laying around etc. We would recommend this park. When full it may seem a bit crowed. This is why I would choose a back in on the perimeter in the back, not in the back center. Even though it rained almost the whole time we were here it did not get muddy or swampy. It is a nice park. 

We are in Florida

Just a quick note to let you all know we are in FL. Arrived at Three Flags RV Park in Wildwood, a Thousand Trails Park. We arrived on Thursday mid afternoon. It started to rain for a short time. Then on Friday afternoon it started to rain, and is still raining late Sunday afternoon. We will be leaving here Monday morning going to Thousand Trails Orlando/Clermont. We will be there for 3 weeks (or at least our RV will Be).  On Saturday we will be leaving for a cruise for a week.  Nov and Dec we will be volunteering at Anastasia State Park in  ST Augustine. Blazer made the trip with no problems. He is still doing OK, wanting to play all the time.
